Two defensive backs have seen the most significant increases. Tyvon Branch of the Cardinals and Marshon Lattimore of the Saints are two of the most improved players so far this season considering where initial expectations were set.</p>

Like Lattimore, Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt is another rookie who has flashed superstar potential. He has gone up nine points to 84 Overall, having peaked at 86 Overall following Week 7.</p>

The players who already were near the top of the scale but have risen in ratings this season include Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner and Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan.</p>
